29. Complexity of Complexion: Black Women's Perspective (Part 2)
Do you think colorism impacts Black women differently than Black men? We certainly do! In fact, we'd argue that Black men are the main purveyors of colorism (we still love ya'll though!) There are few topics in our community that are more divisive than colorism and in this episode we look to address the nuances of how Black women experience colorism, issues with their identity, worth, and safety based on their skin tone. We are joined by Nchimunya and Shay Bones, who share their personal stories on the stereotypes, traumas and complexity of their complexion.

27. Black People Left America and We're Here For It (Part 2)
Who knew reimagining travel would be so profound for Black people?! Those of us who chose to leave America also left our problems behind and we get deep into that conversation on this episode.
Anitra Smith joins us as we discuss why travel was especially important (and controversial) for Black folks during the panasonic. Anitra is a public health leader, travel blogger and creator of Don't Trip Travel - a blog dedicated to encouraging women to travel and balance their 9-5's.
